Chapter 168 Mutation
The merchants in Tana City heard the sound. The horn outside the barracks was blowing every day, sometimes in the middle of the night. It was hard not to let these merchants hear it.

Most of these businessmen are believers in wealth, and quite a few believe in the God of Storms.

Seeing the mutated creatures, what these guys thought was not how to escape, but to protect their cargo.

"Damn it, tell them not to go to the warehouse, those guys will only get in the way! No mutant creatures will eat the goods!" Tom said viciously. He has been running this line for three years, and he is still the first This is the first time I encountered a sea monster that dared to climb a cement boat.

Since he changed this ship, he hasn't fought these sea monsters again.

But he is a believer in the storm, it is impossible to have no fighting ability at all, let alone he is an awakener of the storm.

Unfortunately, this mutated sea creature actually appeared in the warehouse, in front of so many merchants.

"Old Tom, keep my goods." A tall businessman passed by Tom. Although many people are not afraid of death, some are.

This is one of them.

Tom nodded, and said to the crew behind him: "Don't forget how I trained you before, by the way, those workers and merchants who moved the goods in front, get out of the way! Get out of the way if you don't want to die! "

"This thing, ah!" A businessman was shot flying, and his ribs seemed to be broken.

But compared to the mutated sea creatures that Lolita encountered, this businessman was much luckier.

What he encountered was a mutated monkfish, which was very ugly, but it had no special attack ability.

The only mutated part is the fish tail, which can shoot out many poisonous needles.

But the effect is not very good. After all, the eyes of monkfish are not right, and the field of view is too small, so the aim is not high.

These poisonous needles have pierced many boxes. Fortunately, there is no food in these boxes.

After all, Tana City does not need food.

Looking at the struggling businessman, Tom directly brought the rope, which was wet, and threw it directly on the monkfish.

Seeing the rope, the fish became more active. It smashed all the wooden boxes around it, and the whole warehouse became more and more messy.

Those carrying workers hid, but most of the living workers have encountered these sea monsters before, and they all know that the first thing they do when they see these things is to run.

If you want to live, you have to run.

As for wages, they are usually not in arrears.

Unless the owner is dead.

"Be careful, this kind of thing is most afraid of the rope soaked in sulfur, and will be very irritable." Tom said unhurriedly, "Come a few people, bring a few more ropes, damn it, I didn't expect the port city The sea monster dared to come here."

Because of lack of preparation, Tom did not have a suitable fishing net on hand.

But he has the right rope.

These ropes were originally used to deal with sea monsters, soaked in sulfur all the year round, just to prevent sea monsters from chewing up the anchoring ropes.

Now it's finally in place.

"Come here, all of you, take your weapons!" As he said, Tom took the initiative to run over with a harpoon. As an awakened person, he can be said to be more effective on a cement boat. For this fish, he You can see where the opponent's weaknesses are at a glance.

The monkfish also sensed the danger and started to flee in a hurry.

Several workers were clearly hiding behind the boxes, but they were still attacked by splinters.

"Get out of here! Do you want to be crushed to death by these goods?" Tom shouted after chasing the dying fish, "Don't waste my time, kill this damn fish!"

Naturally, the monkfish dragging the rope couldn't run fast, not to mention that there were so many goods here.

Several crew members threw the rope at the same time, fixing the fish firmly.

With Tom's yell, the fish sprayed a lot of blood, and a stench emanated from the whole cabin.

"I hate this kind of thing the most. It's worthless and troublesome." Tom said coldly, "Fortunately, our strength is not bad, otherwise you will all be eaten by it."

Several crew members were sweating profusely, and no one dared to approach the monkfish.

Everyone just watched until the blood flow from the fish was about the same.

"Help me, save me." At this time, the businessman who was shot flying just now shouted, "Help me!"

"Damn, I forgot, you two, go and carry that unlucky guy out." Tom ordered, "Others, clean up this fish, and those workers, don't run away if you want to be paid, remember Pack up these goods, don't lose anything!"

"Can I stare here?" the businessman lying on a stretcher worried.

"You've bought so many supplies, are you afraid of losing them? Don't worry, my old Tom never does that kind of thing. Take him to the lounge for me. His injuries need to be dealt with." Tom didn't want to because The businessman slowed down his itinerary, after all, he himself had a batch of goods on board.

Although the scene was chaotic, it was quickly resolved.

Several players who came to pull the boat looked at the lively cement boat with their heads poking around, discussing it.

It is night now, and there are not many players coming online, even fewer in Port City.

Fuling stood behind Akagi and complained, "I can't see clearly, and I don't know if the guests are arguing."

"Didn't you hear someone shout that there is a sea monster?" After Chimu finished speaking, several plainly dressed sailors got off the ship with the sea monster on their shoulders.

This thing can't be thrown back into the sea, but that doesn't mean it can't be thrown elsewhere.

"It's really unlucky. This thing can't be sold for money, and it has no use value. It also broke so many boxes."

"Old Tom is going to swear again, and he will definitely not have a drink today."

"Damn it, can't each of these sea monsters be useful?"

"What are you thinking, the ones that are useful are all very difficult to deal with, they are terrible."

As they said that, several people threw the fish into the woods beside them, and then left talking and laughing.

"This thing is a sea monster? It's different from what Lolita said." Lolita can't upload photos until she comes back, and it will be tomorrow after the review.

So players use Lolita's description to confirm what these sea monsters look like.

Seeing people leave, Akagi and Fuling also ran over, wanting to see what the sea monster looked like.

Fu Ling even started to take pictures, which is the first-hand information.

"Those sailors mean that this sea monster is useless, why?"

"Maybe we can ask people we know, such as Bob." Fu Ling looked around, "You watch here, I'll go find Bob to come over and have a look."

Bob was originally drinking in the bar, but seeing a pretty girl like Fu Ling coming over, he was still willing to come over to see what happened.

Slightly drunk, Old Bob was taken aback when he saw the sea monster, then gritted his teeth and said, "You guys dealt with this?"

"No, it's on that cement boat." Fu Ling pointed to the boat beside her and said, "We saw this sea monster on the boat, well, that's what they said, but we're not sure."

"How is it possible that this kind of sea monster would actually run onto the cement ship?" Bob was stunned for a moment, "No, please go and inform the crew members to keep them vigilant. I'll go to that ship and ask. Old Tom's boat."

Saying that, Bob trotted all the way to the ship.

"You follow, I'll call someone." Fu Ling patted Chi Mu's shoulder, "It's easier for me to call."

Fuling came here with the cargo ship, and she has a batch of clothes that she plans to sell to the port city.

This batch of clothes was ordered by those people in the capital who saw Lolita's interview. Those merchants moved faster than Lolita. They had already been to Tana City three days ago. After seeing those clothes, they were shocked. So an order was placed.

These clothes are not difficult to make. Fu Ling found a factory run by a player, and made those silk stockings and hats in three days. In order to package them beautifully, they even packed them in very beautiful boxes.

This batch of goods is worth 3000 Sid, so it's hard for Fu Ling to come and follow them in person.

But of course she doesn't need to do this thing, she still needs to bring back the supplies purchased by the players.

For example, coke, which is very important now, is not available in Tana City, and can only be obtained from Port City through purchase.

And the quality of steel produced from coke should be improved.

So this time, Fuling and the others mainly came to bring coke back.

There is only one steel factory in Tana City that needs coke, so the price of coke is not expensive, but much cheaper than steel.

Although these things are not afraid of the scourge of mutated marine life, it does not mean that Bob is not afraid of accidents.

After all, few people on Bob's boat could deal with that thing.

"She's calling for someone, I'll go with you." Akagi caught up with Bob, "Why is this sea monster worthless?"

"This sea monster, hey, most sea monsters are useful, and these things are collectively called mutated sea creatures." Bob said as he walked, "Many mutated creatures are poisonous themselves, such as Mutated puffer fish, mutated squid, etc... But there are also some mutated creatures with five poisons, such as this monkfish, although it is a bit ugly, but it is not poisonous. After the mutation, their toxins are mainly concentrated in Body surface. Other poisonous mutated creatures can also directly collect poison sacs or some spiritual substances produced by mutations. This kind of monkfish will use up all the toxins when it dies, including the mutated spiritual substances. , all will evaporate, so there is no way to use it at all.”

Walking to the boat, Bob explained the purpose of his visit. Akagi saw the steel needle-like things that the crew pulled out from the wood chips, and asked, "Are these things useless?"

"The strength is not as strong as steel." Bob dismissed Akagi's calculations with one sentence. This thing is not as hard as iron, and it has no reading. Although sea monsters can use it, it is useless to the Church of War.

After all, the Church of War deals with barbarians, and those guys have high defenses, which is not something this kind of thing can penetrate.

"My old man, why are you here? Oh yes, the boat next door belongs to you." Old Tom hugged Bob friendly after seeing Bob, "You finally changed to a good boat."

"Yeah, you always say how easy and strong the cement boat is, and you don't have to be afraid of those sea monsters." Bob looked at the workers who were packing up the warehouse, "Anyway, what's going on, cement ship Why are there sea monsters on board?"

"I don't know how it came about. I guess there are too many cement ships recently. Do you know that the war in Tana City has increased these cargo ships. The port city has not had so many ships for a long time."

There are cement boats parked around, many of those wooden boats have been towed away by Bob, and now there are obviously several more cement boats in the port.

"That's what I'm worried about. I thought the cement boat was safe enough, but..."

"Let me teach you a method. You soak the fishing net with sulfur. You need to explain something, and then it will be much easier to deal with this kind of sea monster." Tom imparted knowledge, "Of course, you also need a strong body like mine. Strength, not what I said, the Church of Stormwind does not have high requirements for awakening."

"But I don't want to have the chance to become a freak like these fish." Bob shook his head, obviously knowing something about the Church of Stormwind.

"Most people are fine, just look at me." Tom shook his head, "Anyway, you are asking for blessings, and the port city is not so safe now. I heard that there were sea monsters in the capital last week. Everyone knows that even the members of the Church of the Sun can’t handle it well.”

"Where the Church of the Sun will handle this, it still depends on the Church of the Storm." Even Bob showed this kind of recognition, "Thank you old man, I'm going back to my boat quickly, let those slackers keep an eye on it, don't When will I even lose my life?"

Akagi wanted to go offline immediately and tell other players how to deal with sea monsters.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that few players have encountered those sea monsters.

The point is, what can those sea monsters' mutation areas do?

"Why didn't the Church of Storms organize a team to clean up those sea monsters?" Akagi asked after getting off the boat, "I thought this kind of thing could be captured."

"Catch? Most of the people in the storm are in the ocean. It's unrealistic for you to let them come to the port to watch." Bob waved his hand, "The ocean is so big, as long as the commonly used routes are safe, we also plan ahead. Precautions, it doesn’t mean that those sea monsters will definitely appear, at least there aren’t any on our ship, right?”

"That's true, but don't those sea monsters also have spiritual materials that can be used?" Akagi whispered, "What are those materials used for?"

"You don't want to play with those materials. Think about it. People in the capital will send dozens of lives to deal with these guys. How much chance do you have of winning against these things?" Bob patted Akagi's face Shoulder, "I suggest that you run as soon as you encounter mutant sea creatures. If you can't escape, then ask for blessings. In most cases, these sea creatures will leave the ship when they are full of food and drink. I mean , under normal circumstances, if you don’t provoke the other party, you can guarantee your survival by killing one or two people.”
